Unfortunately, I'm still getting the error: Can't merge host 261762 into 543231 - they're incompatible What gives? I would have thought this should work if it's simply merging by host name?

Couldn't tell you what they are though... ID: 50173 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

It appears that the oldest created host is LOST when merging. It would have been nice after the merge to have the hosts show the ORIGINAL create/join date rather than the most recent.

It has always been that way. There is less chance of problems this way than trying to save the old number. BOINC WIKI BOINCing since 2002/12/8 ID: 50179 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

However, the OLDEST creation date should be maintained so users knows when that host originally joined project. ID: 50253 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
